How many square feet of outdoor carpet will we need for this hole?

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of a composite figure and we are asked to find the area of the given figure.

The area of the given figure will be equal to area of a trapezoid and area of a triangle.

, where a and b are parallel sides of trapezoid and h represents the height of the trapezoid.

Upon substituting our given values in the above formula we will get,

Therefore, the area of the composite figure is 38 square feet.

Total area is 50 sqr ft

Step-by-step explanation:

The area can be found by splitting the shape into a rectangle and a triangle

The area of rectangle is l x w which would become 8 x 3 = 24 ft

Similarly the area of triangular shape would be 1/2 (lxw)

So area of triangular shape would be 1/2 (4 x 4) = 8

Since there are two triangles so area would be 8 + 8 =16

Now total area will be 16 + 24

Area = 50 sqr ft
